[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16328428, member: 79484"] I haven't had the opportunity to drive any real exotics yet, I can ramble off a few cars though that are certainly great performers The Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R I rented in Japan to drive on the mountain passes certainly met my expectations, in that environment you have to work the gears to keep it in the power band but I found it fun when the boost kicked in and it threw you into the seat. Sometimes its fun to drive a car that makes you work for the end result The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition I drove over there blew my expectations away, that car is an absolute pocket rocket and a riot on the narrow windy mountain passes of Japan. Put your foot down in any gear and it instantly takes off thanks to the smaller turbo, gear changes and heel-toe were very easy to execute. I loved that car so much I'm looking to import an Evo IV in 2021 (since R33 prices have spiked 5-8 grand already and I'm not looking to drop 30-40 grand US on a 25 year old Nissan right now). The 2019 BMW M5 Competition I drove on BMW's M town tour was a blast, it was a different experience from my own M5 but if I had the money a new M5 would be a hell of a commuter car on my 106 mile round trip commute. Very comfortable car and extremely fast. I will say my own E39 M5 is still one of the best well rounded cars I've driven and probably the best car I own all things considered. It's a 20 year old car that can still tangle with the modern stuff. These cars have been climbing in value over the past few years since you just can't buy such a well rounded package anymore (Chevy SS and prior Pontiac G8 GXP were as close as you could get).
